Sizing & Conversion (mm ↔ lignes)
Measure the diameter across the widest point. If you work in lignes (L), use this quick reference:
| Common Use | Approx. mm | Approx. lignes (L) |
|---|---|---|
| Shirt cuffs / collars | 10–12 mm | 16–19 L |
| Blouses / dresses | 12–15 mm | 19–24 L |
| Cardigans / knits | 15–20 mm | 24–32 L |
| Blazers (sleeve) | 12–15 mm | 19–24 L |
| Blazers (front) | 18–23 mm | 28–36 L |
| Coats / outerwear | 20–30 mm | 32–48 L |
Rule of thumb: 1 ligne ≈ 0.635 mm. Match to the exact size options shown on each product page.
Shank vs 2/4-Hole: Which Should I Choose?
Shank buttons sit proud of the fabric and give tailored garments a refined drape—ideal for blazers and coats. 2/4-hole buttons sit flatter, are quick to sew, and work well for shirts, dresses, and kidswear.
Piedmont Weather & Care Tips (Winston-Salem)
- Humid summers: choose matte/antique finishes to minimize glare; wipe metal/shell after sweat or rain.
- Thunderstorms: let garments dry fully before closets; consider backing buttons on heavier outerwear.
- AC & indoor/outdoor shifts: low-profile 4-hole buttons reduce snagging with backpacks and seatbelts.
- Occasional winter ice: reinforce heavy coat fronts (20–30 mm) with extra passes for durability.
How to Sew on a Replacement Button
- Thread a needle (double the thread) and knot the tail.
- Anchor from the wrong side; make a few small tacks where the button sits.
- For 4-hole: sew in a criss-cross or parallel pattern 6–8 passes per pair.
- For shank: create a thread shank if needed; wrap 3–5 times to stabilize.
- Knot on the wrong side and secure with a tiny dab of clear fabric glue (optional).
